Williams' was very happy after her victory. "It's a huge
number," she said about getting to 308.

"I think it's very
significant, actually. I think it's something that just really
talks about the length of my career, in particular. I've been
playing for a really long time. But also, given that consistency up
there - that's something that I'm really proud of," reported
The Indian Express.

She also said, "I definitely never thought I would be playing
still.....Now I don't really see when I'm going to stop, because
I'm just enjoying these moments out here, getting to break records
that I didn't even know existed or I didn't even know was
possible."

Williams' very first win at a Grand Slam was against Irina
Spirlea in the first round of the Australian Open on 19th
January 1998, when she was just 16-years-old.
